Nanotechnology plays an important role in the efficient generation and consumption of energy. This is crucial for electric cars, for example, to be introduced on a large scale. Nanotechnology also plays a key role in the capture of CO2 and bio catalysis.
This theme contains the following programmes:
2A Efficient generation of sustainable energy
2B Efficient energy utilization by secondary conversion of energy and separation
A societal transition towards a world which is less dependent on fossil fuels is an unparalleled scientific challenge for the coming years. The developments so far have shown that nanotechnology can play a pivotal role in this. Nanotechnology plays an important role in the efficient generation and consumption of energy. This is crucial for e.g. electric cars to be introduced on a large scale. Nanotechnology also plays a key role in the capture of CO2 and bio catalysis. In summary, the two research areas within this theme are: the efficient generation of sustainable energy and efficient energy utilisation in secondary conversion of energy and separation of substances.
